Friends play the theme from Nintendo

In the video, two friends can be seen playing Super Mario 64’s Bob-Omb Battlefield theme. However, they weren’t using any musical instruments; instead, they used a kind of hollow pipe, known as Boomwhackers. For those who don’t know, the Boomwhacker is usually used in elementary schools to teach students about musical notes and pitches.

The concept behind the hollowed tube

These tubes produce sounds using a concept called resonance. Sound designers use this concept to create hollowed sound effects for films and TV. Almost all musical instruments that tap or hit use the concept of resonance. The “Thongophones,” a local instrument from Papua New Guinea, is the best example of this.

‘Boomwhackers’ are very similar to them. As they also come in different sizes and can make only a single sound when struck. The two friends used the same instrument in their video. Even though they are not very well-known in the west, these instruments are quite enjoyable.
